| ( | 417 | + | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 1230 | + | x | ) | = | 17 50 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 1230 | + | x | ) |
| ( | 417 | + | x | ) | = | 17 50 | ( | 1230 | + | x | ) |
| 417 | + | x | = | 17 50 | ( | 1230 | + | x | ) |
| 417 | + | x | = | 17 50 | × | 1230 | + | 17 50 | x |
| 417 | + | x | = | 2091 5 | + | 17 50 | x |
| x | − | 17 50 | x | = | 2091 5 | − | 417 |
33 50 | x | = | 2091 5 | − | 417 |
33 50 | x | = | 6 5 |
| x | = | 6 5 | ÷ | 33 50 |
| = | 6 5 | × | 50 33 |
| = | 2 | × | 10 11 |
| x | = | 20 11 |
| x | = | 1.818182 |
